Enabling airplanes to determine the glide slope to the head of the runway with total accuracy, the ILS systems help aircraft to land safely in bad weather conditions.
Once implemented, the ILS will significantly improve the capacity of airports and help them to offer improved services, particularly in winter, when snowfall can obstruct operations and even force the airports to close.
Pursuant to the terms of the contracts, airports located in Tucumán, Bariloche, Mar del Plata, Resistencia, Corrientes, and Posadas will be equipped with ILS CAT II systems.
Cordoba Airport will also feature a maximum level ILS (CAT III) that allows it to operate with virtually zero visibility.
